Who Is Bill Stepien? Political Veteran Takes Helm of Trump Campaign

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he was replacing campaign manager Brad Parscale. Parscale had been Trump's campaign manager since February 2018. Replacing Parscale is former deputy campaign director Bill Stepien. Parscale is expected to remain with Trump's campaign in charge of digital and online strategies.

Parscale's replacement comes as recent polls show Trump trailing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Data released Wednesday from a Quinnipiac University poll showed Biden ahead of Trump by 15 percentage points.

In a Wednesday tweet, Trump said both Perscale and Stepien had been "heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together."
